History

Labradorite was first discovered in Labradore, Newfoundland, in northeastern Canada in the 1770’s, where it earned its name. The Inuit tribe would call labradorite a “fire stone,” and used the powdered stone to help in their ailment remedies. According to Inuit legend, the Northern Lights, or “aurora borealis,” had fallen from the sky and embedded itself in the crystal. This legend says that a warrior saw the Northern Lights trapped in the stones and tried to free the lights again, striking them with a spear. Though it was first found in Canada, it is not exclusive to the country. It is also found in Mexico, Russia, and Finland.
